Fly away with me

The griffon only blinked, staring back at Nightmare Moon with a look of hurt confusion. They were to be wed, and her truest love did not trust that she found love in her night?

"For surely," began the lovely blue mare, sitting as she brought a hoof to her eye, "no pony loves me or finds any love in my night." The pony's chin fell to her chest and her flowing mane fell over the face, wet with tears.

"Darling, you mustn't listen to the lies they feed you. Your sister..." Gilda stopped, seeing how the very mention of Celestia caused Nightmare's head to snap up, a look of malignant destruction boiling in her eyes. Instead, she rose, spreading her powerful brown wings and pulling one along her love's face. The tears were wicked away by the waterproof feathers.

"Gilda, I pray that you will forget this experience. My trust had momentarily wavered." With this she stood, rising above the griffon she loved so dearly. As she leapt down from the clouds she called, "Goodnight, oh fair griffon. May your dreams be sweet, and free of fright." She ran her legs as she soared, looping and twisting as the clouds licked her skin, leaving dewdrops to shimmer on her dark coat.

Upon landing, Nightmare Moon rushed inside to polish the armor she wore. She one again reviewed her vows, running them over and over again.

"From the moment I laid eyes on you, I knew that you were mine. The way you looped and twirled through the night sky I created, the only one to appreciate it at all. You breathed a new breath into my creation. You proved to me that-"

At this point she stopped, crossing off the line that followed. She then inserted a line that would be much more meaningful to both of them. She wrote-

"someone could love me or find any love in my night."
